New FamilySearch Historical Collections - August 2011

....I last listed the new or updated collections on the FamilySearch Historical Collections website on 2 August, when there were 683 collections on the list. Since then, these Historical Record Collections have been added to make a total of 707 collections as of today:

In the list above, I tried to identify many of the collections as newly added by comparing them to last months listing. When FamilySearch sends their email notifications to interested parties, they are identifying whether they are new or previously existing collections - they don't say which collections are added to the list for the first time..

There are 25 items on the list above, but 24 newly added databases since 2 August, so I have missed one. Oh well! I will update the list as I receive information about the new databases.

The item entitled "Case Files of Approved Pension Applications of Widows and Other Dependents of Civil War Veterans, ca. 1861 - ca. 1910" is not the case files themselves, but an index to images in fold3.com. fold3 has been adding the images only very slowly since they began a few years ago, and does not include proper citation (lacking Microfilm publication and roll numbers).
